When children come into contact with nature, they reveal their strength. -Maria Montessori

Planting helps to nurture children’s sense of responsibility as it gives them the opportunity to care for the plant and take charge of its growth (i.e. prevent it from withering). Through this meaningful experience, children will also learn about the life cycle of a plant – a subject matter of Science.

You can replace a flower pot with an empty container, and a spade with a shovel or gardening scoop

Step 2

Sprinkle 3 to 4 seeds on the soil.

The number of seeds is based on your choice

Make sure the seeds are separate from one another to ensure their healthy growth

Remember, the lesser the seeds, the faster your plant(s) will bloom

Step 3

Water regularly so that the soil is damp but not wet (at least twice a day)

Place the pot where it can get an adequate amount of sunlight (e.g. near the windows).

Educational Tip: “Children are active learners” They learn best through hands-on activities and experiences where they get to explore and experiment with their 5 senses to make sense of their own world.

Be hardworking and patient in planting. We are sure that your consistent efforts will be paid off. Let it Bloom!

Have fun planting with your child!
